I would actually love that. It would make every regular season game so meaningful. But it would require smaller conferences so there's a fair...
Eh - the national media has raved about other moves the Astros have made over the years. It might just be possible they, like many fans, overrate...
If Espada and Brown suck that much that they can't put the right players on the field, then nothing else matters - the Astros won't win anything...
Sorry - to clarify, my JMU thing was hypothetical. They were barely top 25 with 1 loss, but they wouldn't have been top 12 even had they gone...
If I remember right, he "retired" 1 or 2 days after the Michigan scandal. The timing seemed odd and my first thought at the time was that he was...
Agreed - one-and-done at least was limited to a handful of players. This is like that on steroids with basically huge chunks of teams transferring...
Would they, though, if it was all wild cards? If JMU went 12-0 against their scrub competition, would they have been invited over Texas, ND, etc...
It's basically the NFL with everyone on one-year contracts at this point. I don't know how a league sustains itself long-term this way. It's...
Metcalf shouldn't have engaged but the fan is an ******* stalker of some sort. Apparently Metcalf has reported him in previous years to Detroit...
Not sure how good any of these guys will end up, but 2 years of a Joe Ryan (who's never had an ERA below 3.40) for 15-ish years of these guys...
Frankly, that's how the Astros have to approach their season. Several years back, the Astros were built on a bunch of underpaid stars that got big...
It's not like they were playing those guys for fun. All the star players were injured. Dubon and Urias combined for 2.6 WAR in those 500 plate...
But why? The playoff is not meant to be the 12 best teams. It's meant to be 5 automatic qualifiers and the next 7 best wildcard teams. You can...
Do they, though? It didn't seem like they handled that situation well at all, and Framber sucked the last 2 months of the season and no one seemed...
To be fair, some of the P4 schools that were 9-12 seeds last year got their asses kicked too. The #1 seed last year got crushed too. The #11 and...
I tend to think it's more fluky than that. In the B10, if Michigan beats OSU, Oregon beats Indiana, and USC beats Oregon (all not unrealistic in...
Any tiebreaker rules are going to be problematic when teams play wildly different schedules. The problem is the size of the conferences and that...
I'm going with yes.
That's true for any pitcher. Who knows how many TJS surgeries Brito might have between now and whenever he makes it to the majors. That's the...
Oh that's also better than I was thinking. For some reason, when I skimmed the list, I was thinking Minnesota and Atlanta had lost so I was...
